Not at all! I used grafting sealer on a largish wound on the back side of the tree where I have circled. The wound got much bigger as time went on. I defoliated the tree and kept all of the new buds that have formed around the wound, trimmed the edges back to fresh cambium, and let the tree grow with cut putty instead of grafting sealer. The wound has been closing but still has a ways to go. I will try to get some photos up before December is out.
I have not tried to air layer the tree yet, that may still be in its future.
